The Los Angeles Issue

Rhys Langston, Pale Black Negative
The LA-based artist’s most comprehensive foray into genre abolition yet is a whirlwind of artistic exploration that sees the songwriter coloring well outside of hip-hop’s lines.

Subsonic Eye, Singapore Dreaming
The Singaporean indie rockers’ jangly fifth record proselytizes the beauty of the natural world, providing hope with deliriously catchy tunes that channel ’90s groups like Superchunk and GBV.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Phantom Island
The Australian band’s growing comfort performing with orchestra musicians results in a bolder, brighter, more engaging, and more direct album than its predecessor.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Every Saturday leading up to the event on the weekend of May 13, we’ll be exclusively playing tracks by artists performing at the festival.

Gallo performs the album’s closing tracks “ANYTHING BUT THIS” and “I LOVE SOMEONE BURIED DEEP INSIDE OF YOU” in Fishtown.

As she wraps up her North American tour, the songwriter spins songs by Asake, Son Lux, Alvvays, and more.

From stops at shrines and temples to a cold beer at the end of the day, Maya Kuroki and Sei Nakauchi Pelletier take us through a day in the Japanese city they came up in.

Both tracks appeared on the Whigs frontman’s sophomore LP Golden Years, which was released last year.

The West Coast punks are taking over the station through March 31 with a tracklist featuring Butthole Surfers, Spirit of the Beehive, and more.
